    At the risk of sounding like an old fart, if you’d told 13 year old me in ‘88, all this info would be free, I think I’d have had a musical fizzy pee . I’m so grateful for this amazing resource.

    While waiting in line on the sidewalk outside of the club to see Pat Metheny with Joshua Redman, those two took the stage to warm up while all of us were watching through the window. Seeing Metheny trade licks and utterly blazing with an elite saxophone player was eye opening. They were both showboating for us while we were stuck outside waiting for the real show and what they were playing was just phenomenal - harmonically sophisticated and unbelievably musically smart. Most "shredders" have no idea how to navigate that musical universe but that's where great musical geniuses pitch camp and spend their time. Full technique was under their belts when they were teenagers - their chops and musicianship are a total given. What comes next is musical creation, composition and endless ideas. He's right up there with the best alive on any instrument. There's a reason Shawn Lane said his goal as a musician is to continually advance so he could one day approach the level of people like Metheny and Holdsworth.

    The whole tune is a masterpiece, Holland, DeJohnette, Metheny and Hancock are playing at an insane level of groove, telepathic interaction. Metheny is on fire, Hancock's solo is genius, too. And sometimes I'm not far from thinking that the rhythm section steals the show. I truly LOVE these men.

    I saw Pat Metheny live in Atlanta for my 19th birthday. I have seen Santana, King Crimson, and Peter Frampton live. The level Pat is at isnt in this dimension, he speaks through his guitar but its not just words its poetry. When he played that night he sucked the air out of the room I felt like I was going to cry tho whole time, I think I did. If we ever need an ambassador for humanity when aliens show up I think we should give them a Pat Metheny + Herbie concert they couldn't not like us after something like that.

  • @coda5934

    why jazz guitar players don't tend to do vibrato? is it because of the gauge of the strings? or because it's just not something important to them?

    • @LeviClay
      @LeviClay  Před rokem +5

      It's always been the tradition. There are guys who absolutely do use vibrato, but the nature of doing it is that you end up sounding more modern, and less like all the legends who came before.
